"[...] the US will threaten to impose tariffs on Taiwan unless it agrees to sell a significant chunk of TSMC [...] to an American buyer. If the US can reduce its reliance on Taiwanese semiconductors, then the way would be open for America to abandon Taiwan." www.ft.com/content/452d...

Donald doesn't even know the difference between AfD and CDU. The U.S. is the truest example of a kakistocracy.

Probably it looks like something the Russians drafted because it was drafted by the Russians

Merz just said on German TV that the primary priority of his government will be to ensure that Europe can achieve full strategic independence from the United States in the defence against Russia. Merz was once a die hard Atlanicist. Now, after Trump he is a Gaullist. Extraordinary.

First exit polls are in, and it is extremely tight. The ZDF has both FDP and BSW in, which means only a three party coalition can work, whereas the ARD has both just bout failing to enter parliament, allowing for an CDU/CSU & SPD coalition. This will be a long night for German politics.

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

Bij sociale huur denken we aan subsidie. Bij villa's denken we aan 'hard werken'. Jaarlijks subsidieert de overheid eigenwoningbezit met €14 miljard. Ruim twee keer meer dan de €6 miljard huurtoeslag. Dat is een herverdeling van arm naar rijk. Nederland kent hierdoor een netto subsidie op vermogen.🧵

Trump is giving the development of European technology an enormous boost and it will in the end make Google, Amazon, Microsoft etc less profitable, create more competition.

I think people are missing the reality of the growing US-Russian alliance under Putin and Trump. Its not going to force a ceasefire on Ukraine, it will be to help Russia try to win the war. The US is now an active enemy of freedom.

Has a single sitting Republican in the House or Senate had the basic courage to criticize Trump for his grotesquely pro-Putin outbursts?

Er zijn geen 'vredesonderhandelingen'. Wat er gebeurt, is dat de Russische oorlog tegen Oekraïne nu wordt gesteund door de president van de Verenigde Staten.

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

So the US government is now just putting sensitive systems on the internet for hackers to probe and break into? They include nuclear research laboratories and several inside the Treasury Department? cyberintel.substack.com/p/doge-expos...
